MARYLAND TACOMAS

My recent work made me put like 1500 on since classes ended (first week of may). But i live in a smaller town. Unless i want to drive around the same shit all the time, i could venture out but there isn't a whole hell of a lot of reason to venture out.

 

Come to Rausch.

You're more than welcome to ride shotgun with me.

 

O: D:< what an honor that would be but i'm working literally all summer

 

Well, if the bypass works properly and with the correct oil in it it will last at those kinds of intervals, the oil will actually stay completely clear like it was just changed, the main thing is getting oil with additives that will last, regular old mobile 1 from wallyworld just wont cut it, the additives wear out to fast to take advantage of the filter keeping it clean. Im looking at the Amsoil setup, as it is a plug and play setup and a bunch of people have used it on the 1-GR-FE with fantastic results

Edit: the lab fee is $25 per sample, and the cost of an oil change with the long life stuff is way more than that, so it actually works out to be more cost efficient in the end...

 

Seems preposterous, be a man. Change your oil regularly!

 

Im willing to give it a shot, push come to shove ill rip it all out and start over, besides, even my old skool mech dad is intrigued by the idea

 

Every day?

 

Most days. I don't really work when it rains...but those days i work on the vehicles, the house, sort scrap metal, run errands, etc.

I did skip out on the family vacation because i'd rather stay home and make money. I have to set aside money for school this winter/spring. I don't like to work when i'm in school but i may have to this coming season.

 

Get out and live while youre young... Ain't gonna be able to do it later on since adult jobs will get in the way! Im living up my summer as best I can because it could be my last summer i have as a non military citizen

 

I'm fine with working. I can play when i move away from home and i could also be like Craig and play with BIG toys like his as an old man

 

He has a nice job that lets him have time for himself and family!! my dads old job made him miss a family vacation once

 

I tease. I love Craig lol.

Family time is crucial. To many negative impulses from peers these days. I'm good with spending family time or being around my friends who also stay out of trouble.

My opportunity to live it up should be coming in the form of me buying a motorcycle before the end of summer

 

Post up a pic of the tool you remove the stock oil filter with if you can.

 

A hand ...

 

Thats why i buy the K&N. It has the 1" nut on it, so easy.

I have a whole oil filter socket kit but none fit the toyota oil filter just right. And they always get stuck on it and i end up prying it off with a screw driver or beating it off with a hammer

 

On the 4 banger the oil filter is on the bottom of the engine but still easy enough to reach up in there and get a good grip to turn it when you have latex gloves on. First time I had to use some tongue and groove pliers for the first turn but now its just a bit more than hand tight...

Yep^ although on the v6 its WAY easier to get the oil filter out

 

That's why I use K&N as well. I use the larger one rather than the recommended short one.

I am not a fan of hand tightening. Seen too many of them vibrate off. Although if you tighten it too much you run the risk of destroying the gasket which results in an oil leak.

 

I never used a oem filter what is the issue with getting them off are they skinnier than most others?

 

I was always told for oil filters they are supposed to be and tight plus a 1/4 turn, ive never had one come off that way

 

But you are a 4cly....i don't know if there is a longer one for the 4.0 i run the

Way i tighten them is as tight as i can get it with my hand, then one quarter turn of the wrench
